Benefits and Challenges of Online Shopping
网上购物的优越性及挑战
With the popularity of Internet, more and more people are inclined to choose online shopping. Not only could people select their favorite commodities such as clothes, food, cell phones through the Internet, but also they could enjoy some services of remote learning, online payment, online booking and so on.
随着互联网的普及,越来越多的人倾向于选择网上购物。人们不仅可以通过互联网选择他们最喜欢的商品,如服装、食品、手机,而且他们还可以享受一些服务,如远程教学、网上支付、网上订票等。
Online shopping has its particular advantages which are hardly found in the traditional shopping. For one thing, it is a desirable way to save much time for shopping. People needn't spend a whole daytime to lounge from one store to another for their shopping, however, what they have to do is just to browse the laptop with a cup of coffee and click softly for their goods. For another, online commodities tend to be cheaper than their counterparts because the cost of online store is usually lower than a conventional one. But online shopping also confronts many new challenges which include the inconvenience of remote transaction, lack of effective supervision and the risk of virtual platform.
网上购物有很多传统购物难以相比的独特优势。一方面,这是一个能节省大量时间的理想的购物方式。人们不必花一整个白天为了购物而一个一个商店地去闲逛,相反,他们所要做的只是端着一杯咖啡浏览一下电脑,然后轻轻点击一下他们的商品。另一方面,网上商品往往比同类产品便宜,因为网上商店的成本通常比传统商店要低。但网上购物也面临着很多新的挑战,这其中包括远程交易的不便利,缺乏有效的监管以及虚拟平台的风险。
I believe that online shopping will appeal to more consumers in the near future, though it is still far from perfection and satisfaction now. All those challenges it faces will be the best motive for its advancement.(208 words)
我认为,虽然网上购物现在还远远不够完善和令人满意,在不久的将来它将会吸引更多的消费者。所有它所面临的挑战将是其发展的最佳动机。
